Given the reviews for Everafter, I was surprised to find that I enjoyed this book as much as I did. I will not call it good, but it is a fun romp in the urban fantasy/spy thriller genre, and already MILES ahead of the Jack of Fables series. The characters are still a bit flat, but there's definitely an interesting plot that can be developed from this. Alas, it only got two volumes. Hopefully the writers wrap it up well?

I LOVE LOVE LOVED this book. The story, the characters, the illustrations. Amazing. I would say I am pretty fussy when it comes to fairy tale adaptions. If you are remaking a classic that everyone knows, loves, and recognizes, I kinda expect it to be amazing and mindblowing and give my characters a spotlight I love and didn't think was possible. Everafter did just that. They took some classic and already loved characters; Bo Peep, Peter Piper, and Hansel; and put them in a apocalyptic world where they are badass fighting heroes. The illustrations are perfect, the colours and the style are just so fitting to the story and the characters. And the plot will blow you away - this is a series where I will fall in love with the classic characters all over again and want to know how their lives and the new world they live in carries out.
